During the height of the political left’s feigned moral outrage over a decades-old policy of temporarily separating children from their parents crossing the border illegally, a Catholic priest who is not exactly known for his piety had some harsh words for President Donald J. Trump’s administration.

“The main thrusts of the Old and New Testaments together on migrants, strangers and refugees is that they should be welcomed,” said Father James Martin, editor-at-large of the Jesuit-run America magazine, in an interview with MSN.

Martin works in the Vatican’s communications office.

He went on to criticize Attorney General Jefferson B. Sessions, who cited a bible verse to back the immigration policy.
